The Anarchic Consort

With no other choice, Helian Wei Wei could only sit beside him helplessly on the stairs.

It was winter and the snow was falling heavily in the Capital.

However, he was motionless, his face was as delicate as porcelain, with an unusual sense of cold-bloodedness.

Maybe they had been there for too long to the extent where Helian Wei Wei could feel the coldness around her limbs.

All of a sudden the boy looked up!

Helian Wei Wei thought he finally saw her and was about to open her mouth to speak.

Instead, he looked past her face and fixed his eyes on a well-dressed little girl.

The little girl was truly a beauty, and also seemed to be of noble blood. She was wearing a double-breasted long dress with a pink colored fur cloak, as she held a bunch of tidbits in her arms. She looked at him, appearing rather terrified. She swiftly put down the things in her hands and ran away. They could vaguely hear her saying, “The Third Prince is so scary, Brother Changfeng, wait for me!”

“Scary?” The boy looked down at his palm and laughed deeply as if he had heard a hilarious joke, giving off a sense of heart-rending evilness.

If Helian Wei Wei was not mistaken, based on her memories, that girl should be the original owner of this body when she was younger.

She was kind; her eyes were filled with compassion as she looked at the boy.

Could this be the reason why Baili Jia Jue treated the former owner of this body differently?

Helian Wei Wei stood still; her body was slightly rigid.

She had always felt a sense of guilt in her heart, thinking that she should not have taken this body.

But Yuan Ming had already told her earlier, if she had not taken over the body in the first place, the body would have decayed.

Yuan Ming’s point of view was simple. Basically, if she did not travel here, Helian Wei Wei of the past would have died in that river, and would not be wandering around with a dead soul.

So, that made her feel less guilt.

But…

Helian Wei Wei turned around, her eyes were slightly twitching.

Was she the person His Highness wanted, or…was it the former owner of this body?

At that moment, Helian Wei Wei’s heart wavered, even though she had always been firm.

She was not a relationship expert.

Even when they were together, she referred to guides to help her handle things.

Anyway, there was just a single main point to her thoughts. Definitely can’t let that certain someone get the short end of the stick!

However, for most guys, is this what they really want?

Helian Wei Wei was unsure.

She had always been more inclined toward feminism.

She had passed the young and innocent age, naturally, she no longer had much compassion in her heart.

She was used to putting much consideration into her actions, and she could not learn how to act innocent, just like that little girl…

Since there was fear, there was no need for an approach.

After all, the cat-like His Highness was actually very sensitive.

Judging by how he usually looked at other people, you could tell how proud he was as he always maintained a stance of an imposing royalty.

Yet you hurt him so, how dare you speak of fear?!

Helian Wei Wei admitted that she was rather furious, unsure whether she was mad at the little girl’s words, or at the attitude of Baili Jia Jue.

Her legs began to feel weak, as though she had soaked her whole body in water. It was supposed to feel comfortable, but the color of the water somehow made someone feel depressed for the crimson red color all over could make one’s hair stand on end. The liquid flowing in the river did not look like water at all but more like human blood.

The group of palace maids Helian Wei Wei saw before had reappeared, still without any expressions on their faces, rigid just like wooden puppets. When the chains by their feet sunk into the water, it gave out a depressing noise, but it seemed that they did not hear the sound. They just continued walking straight ahead in a stupor, until the river water flooded over their heads, leaving only their black hair floating on the surface of the river.

The scene was quite horrifying, however, the distance between them and Helian Wei Wei was getting increasingly shorter.

The black hair seemed to be controlled by something in the water as it moved toward Helian Wei Wei, seemingly trying to devour her.

Helian Wei Wei tried to avoid it, but she realized that her four limbs were no longer under her command, as if they were controlled by someone else. Her mind was clear but she could not move as she wished, instead she tilted over and headed right toward the black hair.

Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes, and with all her might, she raised her arms and slashed toward the direction of the clot of black hair!

The black hair did not expect her to counterattack, so for a short moment, it was stunned and then proceeded to become wilder.

Helian Wei Wei bit her lip as drops of sweat were dripping down her forehead. Her face was so pale that the color drained from it, but that did not stop her from unleashing her second attack.

Swoosh!

The silver knife, as thin as paper, pierced through the heart of the black hair with astounding sharpness!

The black hair finally stopped and remained stagnant on the surface of the river like densely packed seaweed.

However, something even more terrifying approached. Helian Wei Wei had just tilted her head when she saw a face. It was a face that she was extremely familiar with, but because she was so close to it, it looked rather creepy no matter how she looked at it.

“I can’t believe how stubborn you are, even the aura of resentment had no power against you. You should have returned the body to me from the start, why do you keep occupying things that belong to me?” The mouth on that face was constantly moving, its hollow eyes staring at Helian Wei Wei.

Helian Wei Wei smiled, even the exhaustion could not hide her luxurious vibe, “You should have drowned a long time ago, why didn’t you just die?”

“You…” The face showed signs of anger, but a sudden thought came to its mind while it was looking at Helian Wei Wei. It smiled faintly, “Now I know, the reason you don’t wish to leave is none other than the Third Prince. But you’ve seen that if it wasn’t for me, the Third Prince wouldn’t have given you special treatment. Don’t tell me that even up till now, you still don’t understand who the Third Prince is obsessed over?”

Helian Wei Wei grasped the silver knife in her hands. “It would be better to discuss these issues in person. As for whether or not you were the reason he had his eyes on me, I’ll have an answer as soon as I return. Did you really think I would just believe anything you say? Hah, are you trying to insult my IQ?” Helian Wei Wei said with cold eyes.

“You know better than anyone else, how much the Third Prince cares about this body, there is no need for me to remind you.” The face revealed a smile as if it was trying to mock her, “He even worries about the body more than you. Now that I think about it, you’re just a substitute anyway, indeed unworthy of too much attention. There is no point of you struggling now, once the seal is broken, the demons will go berserk, I must go back!”

Listening to her, Helian Wei Wei felt a sudden pain down her spine!

She looked behind her, and only then did she realize that the clot of black hair had never been knocked out. Instead, it had penetrated straight through her ribs, wrapping around her inch by inch, and was pulling her down into the bottomless water…
